Come on Down: Drew's First Day

What do the phrases "Cleveland Rocks!" and "Welcome to 'Who's Line is it Anyway?' a show where the points don't matter" have in common? Drew Carey. Now, he can add another to his resume: "Come on down, you're the next contestant on The Price is Right."
That's right, Drew Carey is the new host of "The Price is Right," formerly commanded by the legendary Bob Barker. His debut on the popular game show aired today, October 15th, at 10:00AM CDT. Carey is by no means as effective at selling the "help control the pet population" campaign as Barker, but he isn't half bad at selling the show. I'll be honest, Carey wasn't very good his first time. He seemed like he was lost, he came across as creepy to me, getting a little too close to one of the contestants, and he appeared to be helping the contestants with their choices, saying at one occasion, "good choice." Nonetheless, I am lenient with Carey as this was his first show and I'm sure as time goes on, he will become more comfortable with the game show. Something good did happen on his first show, it was perfect. Perfect in the sense that every contestant won their game. Maybe Carey is just good luck. Whatever he is, he will be a great host.
